I have to admit that I am something of a technophile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technophilia) in that I love to read and study about the future applications of technology in everyday life.  I think that is what appeals to me about SciFi as well…the convergence of reality with possibility.  I read a great article today that talked about the potential for the recently enacted Stimulas Bill to advance the influence of technology in our aging infrastructure.  It was truly facinating.  Here is the link to the article: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB12344 … 31779255.html?mod=djemTMB

It is amazing to consider at the unique applications of our modern technology.  As instruments get smaller and smaller (even to the point of nano-sized components) and wireless connectivity gets more pervasive it seems that there are limitless ways to implement technology.  Certainly one of the drawbacks to such pervasive use of sensors and communication devices is the sheer volume of information.  I recently read somewhere that there is more “new” data/information generated in the past year than in all of human history before that…wow - that is exponential growth for sure.  The biggest challenge is how to make use of the data.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the convergence of traditional mediums/industries with modern day technologies…
